Ge WB16X10019 Jet Holder,Main,D,11.7K OEM Part

While trying to access and clean brass jet orifices I wrenched the brass nut with chamfer too much (it was seized) and twisted the jet holder to the breaking point and collapsed the main front tubing. I had to hacksaw the rest off. After receiving replacement parts from APPs I was able to reassemble everything in a half hour or so. I lifted the unit countertop height and bridged my cutout with a couple of 2x4's to set it on. From there it was outside trim removal (about 20 screws) then you can remove the other burner tube, igniter, and burner pan. At that point you have wrench access to the tubing nuts and the rest is just remembering how you took stuff apart. Pretty easy since you have other burners for reference. $102 vs $2000 for a new top. I'm a fairly handy guy but I've never done this before. Also took the opportunity to clean everything good before reassembly.

I checked the transformer and did not get outlet voltage. The big problem was to release the cooktop cover. The central jet holder broke and was almost impossible to release the cover. In the process was necessary to damage the main tube, the long range nut with chamfer, and the nut. After that I ordered all the pieces to IPS parts because there were 30% cheaper than partspro. IPS people keep saying to me after a lot of arguments that the order will be delivered the next week. After one and a half month I asked for a full refund and cancelled the order. They accept. Immediately I ordered all the parts to parts pro and they delivered all same day!!!. I replaced the transformer and assembled all the damaged parts. Now, everything is working well.
